Sicario Killed Last Week Belonged to Papa Pitufo's "AD" Group

Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Quadratin

Thanks to Tu Fren ! This is a follow up to  Chivis's Post on Federal Police Killed in Morelia, Dec13.

This is a follow-up on three Federal Police killed south of Morelia last week. Yesterday, the State Attorney General, reported falsely to the press that the one sicario killed was part of the group of Auto Defenses arrested with Dr. Mireles in La Mira in June, 2014. 

This Report from Quadratin refutes this. The sicario killed last week was part of Papa Pitufo's group, and Pitufo had him arrested because he was causing problems in his group. He was arrested in May, 2014 and not in La Mira.

MORELIA, Mich., December 17, 2018 : In a video posted on social networks, the former leader of the self-defense groups, José Manuel Mireles, dissociated himself from the accusations made by the Attorney General of the State, José Martín Godoy, in the sense that the self-defense groups would have participated in the assassination of federal police on December 14.

In a brief message, Mireles pointed to "some media at the service of the state of Michoacán", to relate it to this violent act by indicating that the murderers were former self-defense groups that were once detained and later released with him.

 

This past Monday, Godoy revealed in an interview that the alleged perpetrators of the murder of three federal police are former self-defense group members who were arrested with  Dr. Mireles and were just released, and he even reported that the dead civilian who was found in the luggage rack of the van carried his documents that protected his state of freedom.

In response, and after condemning the killing of the soldiers on the Morelia-Patzcuaro highway, Godoy requested that the Federation, through the Attorney General's Office, investigate this case and punish those responsible for this.

Dr Mireles stressed that the fate of many of the self-defense groups that participated with him is unknown, as he has no information as to what they do now or where they are, except for the group of bodyguards that he has kept since the civil movement began.

"In a further attempt to incriminate me publicly, when the truth comes out, I am a man of my word and I will not fail the people of Mexico. The prosecutor owes an explanation to the Michoacanos for the unfounded accusations towards our movement" said Dr. Mireles.

Mireles lamented that there are people "bent on destroying the image of those who gave their lives for the peace of Michoacán", and at the same time insisted on the call to punish those responsible for the killing of the police.

            

MORELIA, Mich., December 17, 2018. - The civilian who died during the aggression against the elements of the Federal Police last Thursday, in Morelia, was of a self-defense group, but did not belong to any of the auto-defenses that were detained with Dr. José Manuel Mireles, but rather it is presumed that he  belonged to the group led by Papa Pitufo , ie Papa Smurf, in english.

"Angel SG", identity of the deceased, entered a state prison on May 11, 2014 for violating the Federal Firearms and Explosives Law, just over a month before the arrest of Dr. José Manuel Mireles, and obtained a measure other than imprisonment on October 20 of that year.

On May 9 of the same year, Quadratín reported: "In a joint operation carried out by personnel from the Secretariat of the Navy, Army, State Police and Federal Police, at least 100 members of a group of alleged self-defense groups were called in and disarmed.  A man nicknamed "El Chivo" was involved with  the holding of La Mira, in the municipality of Lázaro Cárdenas. "

The arrest would have resulted from a request for support from "El Chuquiapan" and Estanislao Beltrán, who asked for the support of the security forces, because there was tension within the armed movement, specifically with the men from" El Chivo", stationed on a ranch in neighborhood of La Mira , with whom it was presumed there was a break, but who were always identified as followers of Papa Smurf's group.

The information coverage at that time, the case file of case 118/2014 and the information gathered during the entry to the prison do not coincide with the statements made by the attorney for Michoacán, José Martín Godoy, who said they were the followers of Dr. Mireles, who also left prison more than two years ago.

"Angel SG" is not the only one who has been identified as a participant in acts that appear to be a crime. Alexis Martell NV, better known by his nickname as "El Martell", was arrested in flagrante delicto last Friday, December 13, in Uruapan.

"El Martell" also had participated along with other two subjects in the attempt of kidnapping of a 42 year old woman in the parking lot of Soriana and was stopped and detained nearby in the same city.

The deceased "Angel SG" and "El Martell" were arrested on May 9 in La Mira, Lázaro Cárdenas, and admitted to the prison two days later.
